Rana luanchuanensis is a species of true frog discovered in Luanchuan County, China, through morphometric and genetic analysis.[2]
From the 38 examined specimens, it was found that the SVL was 2.72–3.3 cm (1.07–1.30 in) in males and 2.37–4.12 cm (0.93–1.62 in) in females. The frog is reddish brown with dark bands on its limbs. There is a thin stripe going from the tip of the snout, across the eyes, and into the dark blotch on the tympana (temples). The underside is white, except for the reddish fore- and hindlimbs and the posterior part of the belly.[2]
